Peepsicles

Y'all, Easter is ‘bout to get better.

Frozen Peeps on a stick. Dang, that’s sweeter than peanut butter and banana sandwiches.

Here’s the recipe, created by the makers of Peeps (with additional Snackworthy commentary - channeling our favorite Paula Deen)

• 6 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped
• 1/2 cup sweetened shredded coconut or 1/2 cup peanuts (about 2 ounces), finely chopped
• 12 wooden craft sticks, available at any craft store
• 12 PEEPS® Bunnies, any color (You see, Peeps is just a metaphor for mankind – we’re all the same on the inside, hon.)

1. Line a baking sheet with wax paper. (Darlin, git to the store and buy some, don't try to make your own wax paper.)
2. Place the chocolate in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of barely simmering water. Stir occasionally until melted and smooth.
3. Place the coconut or nuts on a plate. (Peanuts, baby, put the peanuts on a plate.)
4. Insert 1 craft stick about halfway into the bottom section of 1 Bunny (oh, ouch!). Dip Bunny into the chocolate, turning to coat completely. Holding the dipped Bunny over the bowl of chocolate, use a knife (or y’alls finger) to scrape the excess chocolate off the back and bottom of the Bunny, letting it fall back into the bowl (or your mouth). Hold the Bunny over the plate of coconut or nuts and sprinkle to cover all sides.
5. Place the Bunny on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with remaining Bunnies.
Freeze until firm, about 30 minutes. Serve frozen. (Mmm, mmm, ain’t nothing wrong with that.)

PEEPSicles can be stored in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 1 week.
